How about this:  Forget Protogen, buy Quick-C for Windows, and use Case:W which
is included with it?  It's an _excellent_ code generator, and upgrade-able to
the Corporate Edition (creates a Help system automatically, and other little
niceties) for a very reasonable price (I paid $249US).  I've been using Case:W
and Case:PM for a number of years, and can tell you unequivocally that they
have saved me literally _months_ of drudge-work programming I'd have had to do
without them.  I can bang out prototype-to-product code in less time than it
takes non-code-generator-users to hunt down their electronic cut-and-paste
scissors, and my code will be correct the _first_ time.  If you aren't using
a modern code generator, you're wasting a lot of your life.

Oh.  Here's a little bonus for you.  The code which Case:W produces for QCWin
will compile quite nicely, thank you very much, under MSC 6.0 and 7.0.  You
just have to create a proper makefile, which you already know how to do.  And,
with appropriate changes to resources, the .WIN files produced by Case:W will
run in Case:PM and port your app to OS/2 ... automatically!  I understand that
CaseWorks also plans to produce an X-Windows (possibly Motif) version which
will also use the same .WIN files, so you'll have Unix portability, as well.

When you call CaseWorks, tell 'em I sent you and plugged 'em on Internet.   
Maybe they'll give me a discount on the next upgrade!  :-)
